Used Subaru Connecticut
When it comes to purchasing a used vehicle, the dealership you choose can make all the difference. According to Buddy Blichfeldt, of Quality Subaru in Wallingford, CT, “The most important thing when you buy a pre-owned vehicle is to know the place that you’re buying it from.” Just like buying jewelry, you want to ensure you’re dealing with a trustworthy and reputable seller.
Blichfeldt emphasizes the importance of thoroughly investigating a vehicle’s history before making a purchase. He likens himself to a detective, meticulously examining every aspect of a car’s past to ensure it hasn’t been involved in any unreported accidents or repairs. “I look at the whole history of this vehicle. I look at, and it has to make sense. Like, why is this vehicle being traded in? What’s its history?”
The Certified Pre-Owned Advantage
One way to ensure you’re getting a high-quality used vehicle is to opt for a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Subaru. At Quality Subaru, their CPO vehicles undergo a rigorous 152-point inspection and come with a host of benefits backed by Subaru of America.
“You’re going to get a seven-year, 100,000-mile powertrain coverage with zero deductible,” explains Blichfeldt. “You then get when you’d certified pre-owned, you get special financing rates… And the vehicle has to go through 152-point inspection.”
Additionally, CPO Subarus come with 24/7 roadside assistance, a $500 owner loyalty coupon towards your next Subaru purchase, a CARFAX report, and a complimentary SiriusXM radio trial subscription.
Getting More for Your Money
One of the biggest advantages of buying a used Subaru, according to Blichfeldt, is the potential to get more features and value for your money. He cites the example of two top-of-the-line Outback Touring XT models with turbocharged engines and every available option. Despite having an MSRP of $45,000 when new, these two-year-old vehicles with only 15,000 miles were priced a whopping $13,000 less than their original sticker price.
“It’s just incredible,” Blichfeldt exclaims, emphasizing the savings potential for savvy buyers willing to consider a gently used Subaru.
Transparent and Fair Pricing
At Quality Subaru, pricing is determined by a sophisticated computer model that scans the market for similar vehicles in the area, adjusting for factors like mileage and equipment levels. This ensures their prices are always in line with current market values.
“There is no way that a customer is gonna come in and hear, you know, some family members say they paid too much or they could have gotten a better deal somewhere else. It’s just not happening,” Blichfeldt asserts.
Personalized Guidance and Support
Buying a used car can be a daunting process, but at Quality Subaru, their team is dedicated to providing personalized guidance and support every step of the way. From understanding your needs and preferences to helping you find the perfect vehicle, even if it means waiting for the right trade-in, their commitment to customer satisfaction is unwavering.
“We’re gonna find what you want,” Blichfeldt promises. “And that’s why most of our pre-owned cars, I can be honest, they’re almost pre-sold before they even hit the lot because we have a list of people that have that faith and trust in us.”
